Some plant cells undergo meiosis. Which of these would not occur during meiosis? A) production of gametes B) chromosomes crossing over C) fertilization forming a zygote D) reduction in the number of chromosomes

Answer;

C) fertilization forming a zygote

Explanation; Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. Meiosis is required for the production of egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. Meiosis starts with a parent cell that is diploid, which means it has two copies of each chromosome. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. During meiosis crossing over, and random segregation take place and are the reason for genetic variation in the offspring
